2. Placement

Set the bag on a dry, level surface such as a tiled floor, concrete slab, or wooden stand. Place it where it gets 4–6 hours of light and won’t flood during rain.

3. Watering

Water gently until excess drains from the bottom. Check the soil daily — water only when the top inch feels dry.
